ArmachiA

^lawl. I don't consider myself better or worse than anyone, just... well, I've made my share of mistakes and certainly don't want anyone holding on to a grudge about me. Even if they made mistakes too, I'm willing to get past it and talk about it (You know, after the initial yelling fit ) I really just treat people how I want to be treated. We are flawed beings. I'm willing to own up to my mistakes and apologize for them, I can only hope that the person who wronged me (And whom I've wronged) will someday want to do the same.

I used to think that about my exhusband... but now, well I wouldn't piss on him, but I'd certianly be willing to find a hose. (He's on the forums and in my guild, sup Ex? )

Actually I completely thought you were a girl, which makes me believe you'll probably be one of the better RPers And even if Drama happens in guilds (Which it does, I've been in my fair share, or in the middle of my fair share ) It's good to hold on to the GOOD memories, so, after some time has past, amends can be made. I'm not a believer in holding grudges.

I'm a terrible speller, those who RP with me be forewarned.

Off Topic, but, you're a guy!?

Good to know I got one right

She sounds like , it's adorable. >.> Nuclear Wessell!

About the current topics: About OOC/IC: I think that's why it's so important to me to keep my Guild Talk OOC, so people can get to know each other as people and what they expect in rp. When my guild is RPing, we're also sounding off our characteraps motives, feelings, etc OOC in guild chat, and everyone discusses it WHILE RP is going on. Really clears things up. About BAD DRAMA: I've only had one bad experiance with Romance, but most of my romance stories have turned out just fine. One bad experience won't keep me away. I don't look for Romance, I don't care if I have it, but I'm certianly not afraid of it. Iroh: Everything you said is sooo true, though ICly Armi thought you were wierd, and OOCLY I thought you were the bees Knees <3 <3 siblings are fun, me and Stanzie did it in Aion with our alts and it was a blast. They were fraternal twins and complete opposites.

Let's see, as a couple RPing: Me and Ellion have been together for 5 years. We have never been romantic with each other ICly unless you count the push drag flirting we did in FFXI (6 years ago). Me and him just do not make compatible characters. Also, both of us understand the difference of IC and OOC. His character has dated before, as well and it's really no big deal. We are happy and secure enough in our own relationship to know that RP doesn't equal real. It's all about how secure you feel about your own relationship, those running around being jealous over character interactions probably aren't all that secure.

I think a good rule of thumb is to not go into RP looking for Romance, then if it finds you great, and if it doesn't, that's great too. I never go into RP sessions wanting to come out with a husband, Armi has never been rolled with a good personality for romance, but sometimes it just happens and sometimes it never does (Like WoW)

Hahaha just remember that most, if not all, RP Drama comes from lack of communication. In Romance RP it's VERY important, the most important thing. Stay in constant communication over what you want and what you feel comfortable with and you will be just fine. Be wary of those who want to romance RP but not talk about it OOC or ever talk to YOU OOC, those are the ones you should run from

^ all RP is. In Fact, all human interaction is that which you just described I've had RP sessions break out into screaming matches between players over way less than Romance. I was the GM, but hell if they listened to me when I said shut up . Seriously, one guy decided to grab a sword during his turn and the other guy immediately started bitching at him about wanting that sword and he was a douche and HUGE FIGHT. I swear they were going to start punching... over a fake sword... in a table top game...

This sounds like something simuliar that happened to me, but I was on the other side. The only difference is my character didn't actually have any romantic feelings for hers (Female playing a male) and it didn't matter how many times I told her other wise she was convinced she did. Armi was supposed to (She didn't really turn out this way, but that's whole nother can of worms) be a social outcast, not known for people wanting to get close to her, and basically causing a lot of trouble. When she got forced into a military unit, she was fully expecting to stay in the background and keep quiet, no one wanting to talk to her. She and one of the members started getting close, by accident really, and they seemed to find some common ground. She didn't want him to find out about her shady past, terrified if he did he would stop talking to her. He was her only friend, she regarded him, I suppose, the same way a girl with a crush would, always nervous around him and unsure of what to say, but that's only because she had never had a friend before. She noticed him starting to be more social with people around him and wondered why, sometimes jealous over the fact he was doing better than she was (They were both supposed to be bad at this after all) It kind of all went to hell then, the other person got the wrong idea after a post I had made about how nervous she was and afraid of losing him and she was uncomfortable. She never told me about it though, so I had no idea this was even an issue. She mentioned that her character new my character like hers on the forums, and I told her my character did not have feelings for him in that way, she was just terrified of losing him, and he wouldn't know for a fact, he would just be assuming. Later on it turned into guild drama, when I asked the GL if said person was uncomfortable and he reluctantly told me she was. I said I would stop all "romantic" inclination toward her character and it would be done. There wasn't any, but it didn't seem worth it to argue that. Her character then made a decision that costed a lot for my own, causing people to take sides. Some characters were on Armi's side, some were on hers. Those who were on my side of course treated her character with distaste, but she got mad, thought it was bringing OOC drama IC, when it wasn't. I guess it was because it was "my" group (I had brought 5 people with me to this guild) vs "her" group and I could even see how it would look that way, but one in my group didn't agree with Armi, but that person was never RPed with by the other side, so they couldn't have known. And those on Armi's side were distrustful of the character for how he reacted after the drama was over, not before or during. The TL;DR is the whole thing was a misunderstanding and I really wish it would have been worked out at one. Both ME and the girl did things we probably shouldn't have, or didn't even realize we were doing. But that's always a risk one has to take in ANY RP situation, not just Romance RP. Always make sure those lines of communication are open Funnily enough ,as mentioned in my previous post, she did end up romantically involved with two men, both of whom it did not last very long. That girl was not meant for romance

Let's see.... My romance card: FFXI: Armi was one of those not going to end up in love types then 8 months later (real time, I'm slooowww) she ended up engaged to a dude named Aidyn. Ellion tried to pull her away from him, but no luck there. They split up due to game quittage and she had some flirtiness with Ellion but it never really went anywhere. WoW: No romances. Aion: Flirted around and lightly dated Siben, heavily dated Lloire. Lost them both because she was... not normal. Both took months to even consider. My resume of Romance's always has them where it takes months to build. People get interested in my character often, but they quickly move on because it takes awhile for me to build a romantic storyline and they lose interest. But I like my romance to be realistic ^^;

PSN = ArmachiA

Gray and Grey are both correct, eff the haters. *Cross arms*

We won't be doing a wiki (All of our linkshell lore will be available on our website and forums) and Eorzeapedia seems to be quest related only (Like the FFXIWiki, which is annoying honestly, I like reading lore) I think that FFXIV is deserving of a wiki just like WowWiki. When I first started on WoW I found it a fantastic reference to all lore and was able to build a solid character because of it. I spent hours on it just absorbing the lore and getting some help for quest lines! Honestly, I think it would be in all Linkshells' best interests to work on one wiki, instead of having separate Wiki's of the same things. Lore for the game should be consolidated into one Wiki, while lore for your linkshell in your own. SO CB is willing to help you with your Wiki Castiel, as more people will show up to this site looking for lore, then they will to the CB one

My account was hacked when I moved into a new house and couldn't get on for a few weeks. I took it as a sign.

I mess up your and you're in roleplay sessions all the time. Typing fast, my fingers just type the first one that comes to my head. Definitely I have a HUGE problem with, because I know how to spell it and I always spell it Definately. Thank God Chrome has auto spellcheck, but in MMO's you'll see me do that all the time. I used to have a problem with accept and except. They mean two totally different things but hell if I couldn't get them, I'm better now though

Lt's see in FFXI Armi was: The spontaneous savior - She was the only one who could defeat the Shadow Lord! (>.>) Then, once I realized the Mary Sue-ness of it, she got amnesia and turned evil. The Amnesia thing was actually pretty fun for a while though. Runnin around bein all evil. But it wasn't Armi, I was putting a square peg in a round hole and eventually had to follow my characters heart and not my own.

The Navigator, obviously

^ Second. (Seriously you stole the words out of my mouth)

I'm only seeing a giant advertisiment for imagedump

Honestly, just.... don't. It's a hopeless grind that doesn't get easier with more people, most people are level 50 and just gank spam, and the RP community pretty much all left

There was an escort guild in Aion called Akutenshi. They started out as a Geisha guild, but that wasn't in lore, so they became.. umm.... an escort guild. @Kashemia - no one wants to roleplay a happy relationship! It's like a soap opera! All drama, no waiting!... That's my way of saying I'm the same way..
